### 1/5 — So many interruptions

*2026-08-28*

Why would it have so many interruptions

### 1/5 — So many interruptions

*2026-08-28*

First I had a good time, then it wouldn’t let me get the book. I had to wait ten days to have it fixed, there was a message telling me “failed getting the book insufficent balance please try again later and failed to parse the license document.” Next the policy paused my account, I had to wait two days cause I’m a really fast reader, finally the same thing happened again with the message failed getting the book insufficent balance please try again later and failed to parse the license document again.

### 4/5 — It’s great, but there are some bugs

*2026-06-11*

Amazing app, huge variety of books to choose from, I’m not sure if everyone has this problem or if it’s just me but whenever I pick a book and start reading, it goes great and then when I get to a certain page everything after disappears and I’m not even halfway through. So if you can fix that I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi there! We're glad you're enjoying the variety of books and so glad you've let us know about the trouble you've encountered. Please reach out to us at hello@rallyreader.com so we can learn more and correct the issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — add the ability to log library books

*2024-08-24, version 4.4.1*

add the ability to log reading time library books.

### 5/5 — Giving my child a love of reading

*2024-06-17*

As a mother, I understand the importance of nurturing a love for reading in our children. That's why I am so excited to share my experience with Rally Reader. This innovative app has truly been a game changer for my family and, most importantly, for my daughter.

Rally Reader is more than just a literacy tool; it's like having a companion in my daughter’s reading journey. With an almost limitless supply of the best books, my daughter is always excited to dive into a new story. In fact she now seems to really be loving reading!  But what sets Rally Reader apart is its real-time reading feedback. It tracks her accuracy, gently points out errors, and provides real-time help when she struggles with pronunciation. This feature has been invaluable, giving her the support she needs right when she needs it.

The app's gamification elements are also brilliantly designed to motivate young readers. My daughter is motivated by and loves earning rewards and now doesn't argue when it's time to practice reading. Instead, she looks forward to it, which is a significant shift from our previous struggles.

Rally Reader has not only improved her reading skills but also boosted her confidence. For someone like myself, who loves reading, watching her read more fluently and enjoy the process has been incredibly rewarding. This app has truly made a difference for my daughter and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you, Rally Reader, for making reading a joyous and enriching experience for our family!!!

**Developer response:** That is so wonderful to hear!! We're so glad to be able to support your daughter in her love of reading. Thank you for sharing your experience with Rally ✨

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2024-06-16, version 4.2.5*

Seeing a lot of value in learning new words and improving reading as someone not from here. Niece and nephew love it since they want to keep getting better and seems to have all the books they want. The collection of books is very large, it would be great when they expand to other languages too since this is the best tool for improving reading and language learning I've come across.

### 4/5 — It could have been five stars buuuut

*2024-06-14, version 4.2.5*

So every book you read cost money but are you going to change that for both normal users and schools? Overall I like the app

### 5/5 — Impressed parent

*2024-06-14, version 4.2.5*

I was looking for a way to support my child’s reading and understand how they are making progress.  Rally Reader offers a reading sidekick that can fill in when I’m not available and I can monitor their progress with the data the app provides me. The app has saved my life and my child is doing better in school.  A win-win!

### 5/5 — Great for busy families

*2024-06-14, version 4.2.5*

This app helps with reading accuracy and persistence, but with great stories instead of boring passages. Highly recommend (long time reading advocate).

### 5/5 — Great content and user-friendly

*2024-06-14, version 4.2.5*

Love the choice of content and how easy it is to navigate and use the read aloud feature.
